i knew this already, but...

http://www.whitehouse.gov/agenda/

i'm blown away. he already said a lot of this.

but to see it in writing, on the official webpage of the white house...

i just can't believe that i read the white house agenda and i agreed with most of it.

i spent so much time so amazingly pissed off at what the last administration said and did. it's such a strange new feeling to hear the president's plan and actually want him to go through with it. we'll see what he can deliver, but for now i'm just happy that i like his talk. :D

I completely agree. In the past 8 years I never imagined my political scale would be tipped towards the left. More and more I am seeing beyond my limited scope. I suppose college may have helped with that, the rest is just me. Anyways, I'm looking forward to the work the Obama administration will do. Let's hope our choice in candidate was the right one.

i have absolutely no doubt that the choice of obama over mccain was the right one. i just hope obama sticks to his word and actually gets stuff done.

as for your political views, i see what you're saying. i know i've changed my mind about so many things thanks to ucla. i think it takes time and distance from where you grew up to really define your own views. i know i'm not alone in at first adopting what my folks believe, before deciding things for myself. they're moderates with some surprisingly liberal views on certain issues (the fact that my dad supports gay rights but grew up in the middle east still shocks me), but college pushed me waaaay more to the left. i think it does that to just about everybody. conservatives will call it brainwashing, but for me it was more about enlightenment.

anyhow... i'm excited!

i finally went right now and read some of the agenda. it made me really happy but also really anxious about what's actually going to play out. i wonder how other president's agendas have looked... like, does it all sound good on paper no matter who you are? probably not, but i don't know, it's almost like too good to be true! but i sincerely hope it's not...

no, it most certainly does NOT all sound good on paper. i can assure you of that :)
